There are many reasons why people would go through the trouble of packing a lunch every single day. Some are trying to cut back on the take-out and fast food and watching their figure.  Others may have dietary considerations, and find it easier to control what they eat by making it themselves.  Still others do it for the simple cost savings of purchasing groceries versus prepared meals each afternoon. Personally, I do it because I have a preference for the way my food comes out when I make it as opposed to the options near my office.

But, there are always downsides that many people don’t think of until it is too late.
